Hi Joyce!
Just a quick feedback from this weekend. I had initially paid for 6 kids to play lasertag with you on Saturday afternoon at Maitland Gaol. I called to include a last minute extra (have no idea how we got an extra!). The service from you and your team from the start to finish was excellent. The boys loved the event, wished it could have gone longer, and I think we have converted one young boy who had never been before. They all returned super happy with the night. Once again, we received a a gift voucher for my son to play again. We will join him next time as we parents also love playing lasertag. That is a lovely surprise for the Birthday Boy to get a free game and we appreciate it greatly. I can’t offer any suggestions for improvement, we really love every experience we have had with you, and will return!
Kindly,
Belinda Mikaelian.

Hi Joyce
Daniel loves it. I told him about the email saying it was on and he said “great I’m going to it!” He invited some mates and when I questioned who was going he said ‘ I don’t care if no one else turns up, I’ll go on my own” That’s how much he enjoys being there.
Great venue, great game, great people, keep up the good work! Pizza a bonus!

How do you respond when your child asks if they can host their birthday party at your house? Does that feel overwhelming or daunting? If it does - you need to pick up the essential tips from this article ... and remember the balloons and bubbles!

There are many areas you need to consider when planning a party, and almost every area feeds into the entertainment you choose. The duration of the party needs to allow for set up and set down of entertainment; deciding whether it’s an afternoon or morning party – and where it will be held - at home, at a venue or in a park.

Every year your child’s birthday party seem to become an event that has bigger and better expectations every year. The same predicament flies through your head “should I have it at home and risk children flying everywhere and making a huge mess or should I host it out of the house that may cost more?”.
